Course Information This highly interactive course will provide guidance on why and how to implement a quality system successfully into the research laboratory. By doing so, you will position your innovation for the success it deserves. But leave things as they are and there is a good chance that your science will not realise its full potential should success, and its consequences, come your way. A quality system in your research laboratory is the most effective and efficient way to: Help scientists work more efficiently Ensure discoveries can be defended Protect the value of intellectual property. This course is particularly aimed at those working in early phase research environments which are not constrained by the regulatory requirements of the Good Practice regulations but are producing intellectual property, testing and/or products for the therapeutic market. For organisational reasons, rather than regulatory ones, this is a place where you need to get it right. The programme is delivered by leaders in the field who, quite simply, ‘have done it’. Whether delegates are at senior management level seeking strategic direction, a laboratory head wishing to deliver science that will stand the test of time or a quality professional thrown in at the deep end, this course will provide key insight and practical guidance to underpin future success. Based on risk based systems, tried and tested over many years in the workplace, the programme will help delegates to define, train, implement and monitor the quality of their research, irrespective of field or discipline. Delegates will learn how to help position their organisation for success. Course content: Delegates will be guided thoughtfully through each key component of the process in a stimulating learning environment. The course probes all avenues of the research quality arena, from an initial understanding of the cultural aspects of the scientific discovery environment, to managing quality in outsourced research programmes. Computer systems and e-data security in the research environment will be discussed and pragmatic solutions described to help manage the ballooning cloud of e-data. In addition, the ever blurring boundary between the regulated and non-regulated research environments will be discussed and delegates given perspective on future developments in the field. With this knowledge, delegates will be able to get it ‘right first time’. Is this course for you? The course is designed for all those involved in the research laboratory quality arena and it has been tailored to meet the needs of scientific management, bench scientists and quality professionals alike. Delegates get immediate access to highly experienced tutors who will share their wisdom and insights in an area where few others have been successful. The course is linked with the RQA guidance which builds on years of experience and forms the foundation of the programme.
